Septarian

For the idea that took its time becoming itself.

Septarian isn't a mineral. It's a concretion, a nodule of sediment that formed around an organic core and was later cracked open and infilled with calcite, aragonite, and sometimes limestone. The patterned yellow-brown cells you see in a polished piece are those infilled cracks. Traditionally associated with patience, grounding, and the slow integration of complicated things into simpler wholes.
